Do you believe the assurances by the EPA that the radiation from Fukushima is too diluted to harm our health? After all, we can’t see it, smell it, taste it, or feel it. There’s probably nothing to worry about, right?

You know Barbara Kowalcyk, founder of The Center for Foodborne Illness Research and Prevention, from the hit documentary Food Inc. Her son tragically died from eating e.coli-tainted beef. Barbara has been making large strides towards increasing the safety of our food and was a recent recipient of The LennonOno Award for Peace. She took some time out of her busy schedule to call us from the Netherlands to talk about what’s going on with CFI, and to help us decipher S.510, the much debated Food Safety Modernization Act.
